“Extremely friendly and helpful. Andrea took great care of Zia for us over a weekend. We received tons of pictures of her having lots of fun. We'll be using Andrea in the future if we need our pup boarded again.”
““Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Bhairoo! We received so many photos and videos that it honestly felt like he was on his own little vacation 😄 Bhairoo is usually nervous around strangers, especially men, but he got comfortable so quickly and was happily following Jonathan around asking for pets and cuddles. Seeing our gentle giant so relaxed and happy meant everything to us. Highly recommend — caring, patient, communicative, and clearly amazing with dogs!””
“Annmarie is a literal dog whisperer & GEM! Brings in my rambunctious boy, sometimes with very short notice, and calms him with her pure existence! Thank you, Annmarie! Oakley loves being with you and his friends, and we appreciate the love and patience you show him!”
About: Recently retired couple. Animal lovers. We've been dog owners (of all sizes) our entire lives. After the passing of our last dog, we're looking to spoil and love other's fur family members (so we can still have our dog fix) but also allow us time to enjoy our retirement years. Trust us to give your dog(s) a loving and stress free get away! We're retired and have a very flexible schedule. This allows us plenty of time to play and spend time with your dog(s). We're used to early morning potty calls, feeding schedules, and administering meds if needed. We live in the country on 5 acres. There's plenty of room for us to monitor your pup to walk, run, and explore. We want your dog to be relaxed, whether its a spot on the couch or in the comfort of their crate.
“Rachel did an amazing job with our dog. She kept us updated with how Louie was doing and sent us lots of pictures, which was great to see how he was doing. I really believe Louie enjoyed himself with Rachel and her family.”
About: I recently lost my puppy after 7 years, and I had experience watching and dog sitting in my neighborhood, taking my dog and other dogs on walks all the time, watching my friends and families dogs, and I want to have more time around dogs again with my dog khaleesi now being gone. I am not a dog trainer, but I’ve been around dogs my entire life. They have always been a key part in my life and I want to be able to continue making positive memories with all sorts of dogs for the rest of my life! I am currently a student at Oakland University for exercise science and pre Physical Therapy. I am also working part time for a sales company called cutco, but I have control of my schedule and can work virtual or in person. I have experience with a electric fence, and if not fenced walking with a leash is no problem for me, I’m very good with crating dogs if needed, but I will not crate them unless it is crate worthy, like if they got slight aggressive, but I do not like to crate if it’s not needed. I will take on walks at minimum once a day and will walk however long the dog seems to need to be walked to get out there zoomies energy. I can feed whenever they usually eat, and always have fresh water for them. I can bathe them as well, but I’m not a pro at it by any means. I also allow pets on couches or beds of any sort, but if they aren’t allowed to be then I can follow that rule with no problem.
“3rd time using Selena to watch our pup Axel, what a pleasure, first she got him to go outside with her dogs and he did great!!!😊 usually we are nervous about letting him around other dogs, but she assured us that we can. She’s definitely our go to dog sitter. See you in few months Selena!”
“I already shared all the good things in my first review, so I’ll just say this: I came back for a reason! Once again, he was great with my dog and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again. 😊”
“Coryn did a wonderful job watching Ebony. They were reliable, communicative, and took great care of her. I felt comfortable knowing Ebony was in good hands, and I would gladly book with them again.”
“Chelsie has a great setup for boarding your dogs. She communicates with updates daily. Drop off and pick up are super easy. Will definitely be utilizing again. Appreciate and trust her taking care of our dog!”
“My dogs had a great stay with Elaine. I would recommend her. From the first time I met her I felt comfortable and I knew my dogs were in a safe and loving environment. I was very nervous leaving my dogs and Elaine was so good with them that I relaxed and had a good vacation. I will definitely use her again.”
“Kayla is trustworthy and super loving with my Bella. Bella comes home happy and even more spoiled. Kayla is accommodating and cautious about your pet while in her care. Recommend her a 1000%.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Kristina! She was caring, responsible, and truly wonderful with our Teddy! It was such a relief knowing our pet was in such a good hands while we were away! Sincerely, Danute ( Donna ) Jury”
“Alexis is wonderful with our dog and I feel like it’s almost camp for our Willow… she gets to play and swim and have sleepovers with other pups! Thank you Alexis for all you do to make us feel ok with leaving our dog with you!!😊🐾🐾💕”
“She is really awesome! It is my first experience and my dog needed boarding immediately because of my business travel. but she responded very quickly even if I requested about 7am. It was very appreciated. She also has a dog and cat. They were very nice to him.( Thank you guys!) Her house condition was good enough for boarding dog. Clean and organized. I am so happy to find perfect place at once. I think I am lucky.”
“Rahied took amazing care of our puppy, Coco! We had a last-minute non-pet friendly trip come up and he was able to accommodate our request of having her stay in his home within twelve hours of booking. We had contacted him the previous evening in case our possible sitter fell through. It was her first time being away from us and we were all very anxious. Rahied put our minds at ease as he is extremely kind and communicative. He responded very quickly to messages through the app. He was also very understanding when our puppy had an accident in his house. She's completely potty trained but I will only go potty in our backyard usually, almost never going when we are on walks. Rahied continue to take her out frequently in his yard and walks to try to get her to go. He showed genuine care and concern for her which was reassuring to us that we had made the right choice entrusting him with our puppy's care. Coco even came home with a new toy that she apparently grew attached to while at Rahied's house. She came home happy like she had a great time! We would definitely recommend Rahied!”
“She was absolutely amazing! I’m so happy to have someone like her in the neighborhood. She sent me lots of photos and videos, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. Seeing how relaxed and happy my dog looked, I could tell she treated her like family. I would definitely love to ask her again next time!”
“Thank you Greta for taking care of our sweet boy. After meeting her, I knew he was in good hands and would be well taken care of. Taz is a 14 year old Morky that loves to be around people. Greta took great care of him and sent me pictures throughout his time with her. He doesn’t like to eat when he is not at home and she even tried to hand feed him❤️?. We definitely found the perfect sitter for our puppy whenever we come to Flint.”

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Thomas can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Thomas home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Thomas.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Thomas. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Thomas sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MI ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
